In this week’s video, international bestselling author Richard Lawrence talks about the true meaning of Enlightenment as given by Master of Yoga Dr. George King and the Cosmic Masters.

Dr. King gave a very precise, very technical definition, which is an extremely advanced one actually, that it’s the raising of the kundalini in its entirety, into the Christ Centre. And that’s when you become fully enlightened.

The first thing to point out is that enlightenment is where we’re all headed. It’s just a question of how we travel there. And the great teaching of these days, and the teaching espoused in The Twelve Blessings, of course, is love and service. And that is the path to enlightenment. So, it’s not just enlightenment for the individual. It’s enlightenment for all, which includes the individual – and that’s the beauty of it. And it’s a most wonderful path.

Enlightenment is a very vaguely used term… Dr. King gave a very precise, very technical definition, which is an extremely advanced one actually, that it’s the raising of the kundalini in its entirety, into the Christ Centre. And that’s when you become fully enlightened.

There is a statement made by the Master Aetherius that peace – and this isn’t an exact quote – true peace, of course, is enlightenment.

There is a statement made by the Master Aetherius that peace – and this isn’t an exact quote – true peace, of course, is enlightenment. And, the Master Jesus focuses throughout The Twelve Blessings on peace; peace for the whole and peace for the individual, saying “First cometh the Angel, peace – to make way for the Goddess – LOVE”. And so that inner state of peace he very strongly encourages people to cultivate. And it’s not the kind of peace most people might think of – you know sort of comfortable, relaxing, feet up, television on – it’s obviously not that! It’s a deep state of awareness of the power of God, if you like, or the light flowing into one’s self.

And I think for people who are following 12blessings.org, I would strongly recommend them to have an accompanying text namely The Nine Freedoms because there I think you have, possibly by cosmic design, perfectly balanced teachings. The Twelve Blessings espousing evolution and showing the great sacrifice made by advanced beings. The Nine Freedoms showing the glory of evolving through the various stages, one of which, of course, is enlightenment.

And in that Fourth Freedom, the communicator Mars Sector 6 does reveal that the door of enlightenment starts to open at what he calls the contemplation stage, which is just prior to the stage I was talking about earlier that Dr. King described as the full raise of the kundalini into the Christ Centre.
